who want some wang?

What can i say about shadow warrior, part of the big 3 Build Engine games along with "Duke Nukem 3D" and "Blood". the funny thing is shadow warrior is my second favorite Build game after Blood. it's pure blast from the past with lots of gore and lowbrow humor, essentially the asian version of Duke Nukem. like duke, this game is a parody of a movie genre in this case kung fu movies and asian culture and lo wang is the embodiment of asian stereotypes like the wise master/student character or bruce lee type only it's for laughs and not taken seriously. it's great fun except playing it in DOSBox SUCKSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!! don't mind the primitvie control scheme or the low resolution or limited mouse contol, fit perfectly with it's old school gameplay style, my problem is, it crashed on me several times, when it gets busy with too much action/explosions it crashes. i tried to change memory in DOSBox cfg it didn't make any real differences, it crashed like 4-5 times afterwards, thankfully I saved every few minutes especially on the harder levels, like the volcano levels and those damn bees, I hate those bees, they are the worst enemies in this game. after a while it got annoying so i took an alternative to this, the other ways to play it using a source port or just get the redux version, better frame rate and stability and very little to no crashes at all.

----- I m the shadow warrior-----

Welp, easy review: one of the very best classic doom-like of all time, can be bought by beginners of the genre and hardcore fans alike. Needless to say, I will not write more about its mechanics or all the good innovations it has brought to the genre itself ( which I don't think needs more words to be explained since it's freaking awesome and a true Cult-game). As said before, the game that started it all (speaking of the new Shadow warrior saga) has it all and explain it would just be a waste of time. However, If you are a newcomer, prepare yourself for one of the most beautiful, engaging, funny, and underestimated game of all time ( although most consider duke Nukem better, this one is actually my favorite). Lo Wang, even after all these years, remains one of the best characters you will ever see ( even in its clichè stereotypes remains cool and funny as hell). So, enough said, Who wants some Waaaang?!

Then bad, now good

This game is like wine. When it first released it was late at least a few years. Old engine, dated gameplay. But that was a long time ago and now we can use nostalgia glasses and simply do not care about that. What we recieve is a good game with gigantic balls, because we expect it to be dated. Solid purchase.

As charming as ever

First of all, play this in a source port. I recommend Raze, which is easily the best looking and running port, though you'll have to download the .grp file for Twin Dragon from somewhere (freeware), since Raze doesn't support the loose files included in the GOG distribution. Playing Shadow Warrior in a source port is also an infinitely better experience than suffering through the buggy Redux version. Explaining why Shadow Warrior is such a gem is somewhat difficult. In terms of gameplay, it's not much different from Duke Nukem 3D, with strong emphasis on key hunting, finding the level exit, and shooting baddies. Tonally, the shareware episode in particular is quite a bit darker, despite Lo Wang's one-liners easing things up a bit. Speaking of, recently there has been a debate about Lo Wang's lines and portrayal being "racist" and "politically incorrect," which they definitely are, but none of this is played straight, so I don't think this criticism really applies. Rather, much of Shadow Warrior's appeal lies in its tight mechanics coupled with its relentless difficulty, which always keeps one engaged without ever feeling cheap. Coupled with Lee Jackson's highly memorable and atmospherically enriching score, Shadow Warrior is a weirdly addicting experience that simultaneously manages to never get boring or repetitive, despite the gameplay essentially not changing outside of the locale you're finding yourself in. Even though the expansions aren't quite on the same level as the original game, they include some neat level design ideas, and definitely are worth a playthrough if you enjoyed the main campaign. In general, you'll be hard pressed to find a level that doesn't do something cool or original in terms of design or looks in Shadow Warrior. Overall, Shadow Warrior is another 3D Realms great, and well worth playing for anyone who enjoys classic FPS even today.

3D Realms in all their glory.

If you like Duke Nukem 3D Atomic edition then you will surely like this game as well. It feels and plays like Duke Nukem. Actually it feels like a chinese version of Duke Nukem or should I say, it feels like an events that happened at the same time when the aliens invasion happaned in Duke Nukem. The game is very good. If you like mad action games with some humor, than this one is for you. The only problem is, old style controls but its not a problem to get used to it. Anyway, the game is currently free, so you should try and see for yourself if this game is for you. I definetelly recommend it to all old style shooter fans. And yeah, more than 5 stars to this game and a big thanks to GOG for adding it.
